Sigur Rós will follow up last year's Valtari with a new record this year. They're now signed to XL Recordings worldwide, who will release Kveikur on June 17 internationally and June 18 in the U.S.

As mentioned in January, the band says their new material is "more aggressive". The band is now a three-piece, following the departure of multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson. Check out a new song, "Brennisteinn", in the video below, directed by Andrew Huang. ("Brennisteinn" has been played live by the band on tour.)

Sigur Rós play their biggest U.S. show to date at Madison Square Garden on Monday and will also appear on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" tonight (March 22), playing a new song. All ticketholders on their current U.S. tour get a free digital EP containing three new songs. The band has also extended their world tour into the fall. Check out the album artwork, tracklist, and tour dates below.
